This is a weight for the front end of a tractor. The two cab tractors and the 1256 all have brackets on the front from which to hang weights. We have almost a dozen of them. They each weigh a hundred pounds. We don’t use them much, never on the cab tractors and rarely on the 1256 when it disks.

IH has a really nice logo. The I is on top of the H so that the H’s legs look like tractor wheels and the I with a dot on top is the body of the tractor and the head of the driver. Raymond Loewy was the designer. Look him up. He is also famous for train locomotives and Coco Cola vending machines.

I keep thinking I’m going to write a bunch of stuff but then when the time comes I don’t.
